Every path leads to the same place: the surrender-based method, a real facilitator credential, and the confidence to hold Breathwork for real people. You learn safe, trauma-informed facilitation and the business side of filling your first rooms.
Whichever format you choose, you train directly with Ryan and Shelby in a small cohort, and you keep the graduate community and mentorship long after your final day.
We built the online cohort for people who can't travel, or who simply want to start online. Whatever your reason, it gets you there. That said, if you can make an in-person intensive work, we always encourage it. Breathing in a room with your cohort is something a screen can't fully recreate.
We don't hold a training inside Ohio. From Cleveland, the two closest sit on either side of you.
East is Washington, D.C. (May 21-23). It's the nearer one, and a short nonstop out of Hopkins or Akron-Canton.
West is Milwaukee (June 11-13), the one most people drive. Milwaukee runs on Central time, so 9am there is 10am on a Cleveland clock.
Go with the month that fits your life. Both run Friday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm, and we ask you to walk in a few minutes early.
Want a class before you commit? Our Breathwork Cleveland guide lists what's running around town.
Hopkins (CLE) flies nonstop to all three D.C. airports. American Eagle goes to Reagan National, United to Dulles, Southwest to BWI.
Closer to Akron or Canton? Akron-Canton (CAK) has its own American Eagle nonstop to Reagan National.
Land at Reagan National and you can walk to a Metro stop, on the Blue and Yellow lines. Land at BWI and Amtrak or MARC takes you into Union Station.
Getting to Hopkins is easy. It was the first airport in the country tied straight into rail transit, and the RTA Red Line still runs from the terminal to Tower City.
Neither Hopkins nor Akron-Canton flies nonstop to Milwaukee, so June is a road trip. It's a long day's drive west on I-90, past Toledo and around Chicago, and you gain an hour on the way.
Amtrak's lakefront station downtown has a daily train toward Washington, but it comes through in the middle of the night. By car, D.C. is about a day's drive east.
Hopkins also flies nonstop to Phoenix on American, Frontier and Southwest, if a Phoenix card up top fits your year better.
D.C. in May has highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60. That's several degrees warmer than a Cleveland May. Bring a light rain shell. The cherry blossoms are long gone by then.
Milwaukee in June: mid 70s by day, high 50s at night, a few degrees cooler than a Cleveland June. You know what a lake does to an evening. Pack a layer.
Northeast Ohio is spread out, and your best airport depends on where you live. Open the one closest to home.
Looking for a Breathwork certification near Akron? The two trips are the same as Cleveland's: D.C. (May 21-23) or Milwaukee (June 11-13).
The airport is the difference. Akron-Canton (CAK) sits between the two cities and flies American Eagle nonstop to Reagan National, so Summit and Stark County can skip the drive up to Hopkins. Akron has no Amtrak station.
Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, and the towns along the national park between Akron and Cleveland can use either airport. Our Breathwork near Akron page lists classes closer to home.
Lakewood, Westlake and Strongsville: you're on Hopkins' side of town. It sits on the West Side, and the Red Line links it to downtown.
Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and Mentor: same two trips, just a longer ride out to the airport. Fly east for D.C., or point the car west for Milwaukee.
Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley: check both Hopkins and Akron-Canton against your own drive before you book.
Central Ohio has its own page, Breathwork certification near Columbus, with notes for the rest of the state.
Toledo sits on the same Amtrak line west toward Chicago, and the drive to Milwaukee passes right by it.
Would fall or early spring suit you better? New York (October 15-17) and Atlanta (March 19-21) are the other eastern trips, and our East Coast trainings guide lays them out with D.C.
“So grateful for both of you, Ryan and Shelby. You’re changing my life right as we speak ... the ladies both booked for next week for paid sessions.”
After getting certified she had paid one-on-ones and a group session booked in Santa Clarita.
“I was really looking for something that was more gentle, more supportive ... and Liquid Breathwork delivered just that.”
She arrived a beginner, after one Breathwork class elsewhere that felt like a lot. She left certain that everything we need is already within us.
Hear from past students as they went through our June 2025 training.
A short look at what a full Liquid Breathwork session actually looks like from the inside.
Sells out a women’s only class every month.
Fourteen years a registered nurse, and Ryan’s star student. She has kept those classes full for over two years.
“I felt like that one session of Breathwork was more impactful than multiple sessions of EMDR that I received in therapy.”
He now guides Liquid Breathwork along with practicing as a clinical psychologist.
Leads Breathwork at music festivals.
Gem & Jam and Peak State in Austin, 20+ people on the grass.
“The training gave me the confidence to speak with knowledge about breathwork ... the experiencer is put more at ease and able to go deeper knowing that what is happening is normal and ok.”
He has run a class or two every month since April under his own brand.
“The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback.”
Weekly classes, held so consistently that three of her breathers came and got certified in Liquid Breathwork too.
The practice starts small, with you beside a single breather, and builds until the whole room is breathing on your cues through a Liquid Breathwork session. Ryan and Shelby co-teach, and they coach you while you lead. The full curriculum is on the certification page.
Pacing is trauma-informed, so nobody gets pushed deeper than they choose. You learn the contraindications that rule someone out, how waivers work, and how to ask before any touch.
Then the business side: what to charge and how to fill your first groups. You leave ready to run them back home, whether your people are Saturday regulars at the West Side Market or towpath walkers in the Cuyahoga Valley.
Mentorship keeps going after the weekend. 55 students enrolled so far.
Founder & Lead Facilitator
8 years guiding Breathwork, 7 breath programs behind him including 4 full certifications, and a 21-day Breath Mastery Retreat in the Baja desert with Dan Brulé. He has guided hundreds of one-on-one sessions and led groups for thousands of people. Ryan created the surrender-based method this training is built on.
Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
A registered nurse of fourteen years, and the graduate Ryan still calls his “Star Student”. She has been selling out women’s only classes almost every month for more than two years. Shelby brings an intuitive & nurturing energy into sessions and the training, which is the part of facilitation nobody learns from a video.
"What a growing experience I have had the pleasure of having with Ryan. I'm so happy I took the chance to reach out when coming across him on the social platform. He has been so warm and authentic from the first moment we got introduced. I have learnt so much through his journey and greatful for him sharing it and the technique of this amazing breathwork with me. Do not hesitate, just do and let Ryan guide you."
"Ryan and Shelby are incredible! They create a very safe and supportive environment to practice Liquid Breathwork. I always get exactly what I need. I highly recommend taking a class!"
"I was so intimidated before starting and to now feel that it’s all possible feels so exciting. Super grateful for this experience!! Thank you Ryan! You’re such a gentle soul, wealth of knowledge, and make learning Breathwork fun and simplified!"
"The Liquid Breathwork Masters Course has been amazing! The videos are packed full of helpful content on the breath, as well as the more technical side of hosting Breathwork classes like audio equipment, Zoom tips, and crafting incredible playlists. The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback."
"The space you both created during the course felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and safe, which made it easy to stay present and engaged throughout. The simplicity of the Breathwork really stayed with me, and I've already started noticing how restorative it is. Grateful for the experience and for both of you!"
"LBW is always a worthwhile experience. Ryan and Shelby tend to always find a way to cultivate an environment that allows clients the space to identify and realize what they need. For me, it’s a perfect stage-setter in lead up to a stressful week."
Washington, D.C. is closest, May 21-23. Milwaukee, Wisconsin comes next, June 11-13. Venue TBD for both. Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled.
Yes, for D.C. Akron-Canton (CAK) has an American Eagle nonstop to Reagan National, and Reagan National has its own Metro stop on the Blue and Yellow lines. Neither CAK nor Hopkins flies nonstop to Milwaukee, so the June training is a drive from either one.
The May 21-23 Washington, D.C. training is $1,997, not including lodging or meals. Online is $1,497. Deposits and monthly payment plans are available. Questions: [email protected] or 480-660-9890.
